The reason why I'm having my php run as a .cgi in the first place, is because I want the script to inherit the user/group of the virtual host that it's running under (using suEXEC), and this is not possible when using a php script interpreted through the web server. It must be run as a .cgi, since .cgi's will inherit the user/group. This is no problem in Perl, since it provides a way to pass variables from one .cgi to another (using my $query = new CGI; param('testbox');). But I can't figure out how to do this in PHP, since using $_GET['testbox']; always produces "Undefined index: testbox in test.cgi on line 8".. Thanks, John P.S. If anyone has any other ideas of how to get a PHP script to run as a specific user/group under a Virtual Host, I'm all ears.. All I need is for the script to be able to mkdir as a specific user/group, but this is proving to be more than a small challenge! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
